Introduction
The Nigerian electoral process has been a topic of much discussion and debate over the years. The country has a history of electoral fraud, violence, and manipulation, which has led to a lack of trust in the system by the citizens. However, in recent years, there have been efforts to reform the electoral process and make it more transparent and credible. This project aims to explore the history of Nigerian electoral processes, from the pre-colonial era to the present day, in order to understand the challenges and opportunities that exist within the system.
